Venture University is the original venture capital investor accelerator. The program has been imitated but not replicated. It’s far and away the best program for current and future venture capital analysts, principals, partners and investors. I was part of Cohort 3 based in the SF headquarters. They’ve now expanded to New York and Hong Kong. In Cohort 3 I learned and worked with 2 VCs (Sky and Andrew) that have both extraordinary returns and extraordinary teaching skills. You’re simply learning from the best in their craft. Week 1 is intense. 10 hour days learning core venture capital concepts through through their real world early-stage investing experiences in companies like Facebook, Twitter, Venmo and Beyond Meat. Week 2 took it to the next level. The program grows from learning to working. We met with over 40 startup companies in 5 verticals. Determining which we would present to the General Partners during the weekly partners meeting. You’re investing $100,000 to $1 million at the end of the cohort in four to six companies too. Real decisions. Real money. Real consequences. So it’s more than a masters-level learning program it’s also the best 3 month-long internship in VC. They founders are very selective on who’s admitted into the program. For our cohort it was a 0.5% acceptance rate. Highly talented but even better people. A true credit to Jenna. Again it’s a select program with multinational demand. But I’m grateful and fortunate to be a part of the program and the VU family. Thanks to Sky, Jenna and Andrew. Again they’re highly selective but you can’t be admitted if you don’t take the chance and apply. I highly recommend.
